West Ashtead Primary Academy
About West Ashtead Primary Academy
West Ashtead Primary Academy presents a mixed picture when it comes to academic outcomes. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2019, rated the school as ‘Requires improvement’ overall, a downgrade from the ‘Good’ rating it had received in its previous inspection. The inspection report specifically rated leadership and management as ‘Requires improvement’, though early years provision was judged to be ‘Good’. However, the school’s most recent Key Stage 2 results, from the 2023/24 academic year, tell a more positive story. An impressive 74% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is comfortably above the local authority average of 66%. This performance places the school 2nd out of 11 primary schools in Mole Valley, putting it in the top 25% nationally. It also ranks 50th out of 298 similar schools across the wider Surrey local authority.
